From what I've heard on the TOR forums - one line, no last names, special characters a no-no, and supposedly there will be apostrophes and hyphens for alien names. (Which, if true, will definately be handy for Chiss, as their full names tend to be somet'hin'glikethis.)

Aww...I wanna be able to use special characters... Usually if I can't use my name then I'll end up using an alt code for the i, such as í or something. The next best thing is Ryu'ji or something I guess...

We're like polar opposites haha. You love ASCII characters, and if I ever see someone with one I completely ignore them.

Having to deal with people that didn't get 1st pick and using them is just wrong.

I am not a fan of ASCII characters and wouldn't use one in my own name, but there are many words in languages other than English that do need them. Because of that I am not totally against having them available, but I would prefer it be limited to the ones used in most of the popular languages rather than everything that is available through an ASCII code.

Well I mean it's only one letter and every possible chance I had, I'd tell the person inviting me the code. That í in particular is alt 0237. Usually I don't have to use it, I just go with Ryuji. Now when there's someone using a name where every other letter is ASCII then it's like...nope.avi.

Rofl, I totally agree with you. Back in Vanilla WoW, I actually used to report people for using ASCII chars. I eventually reported so many, a GM responded to one and said something along the lines of "yes, it's against the rules, but we don't enforce it much." So I just started ignoring them instead.

If you can't get your name without using ASCII chars, or putting all sorts of extra letters in it, PICK ANOTHER NAME.

I've used ASCII characters a few times, but I generally make a conscious decision when I'm making that character that for the remainder of its existence I won't be talking to anyone or trying to get invited to groups. I get a cool name, I get left alone, and I play it completely solo. If I changed my mind later and wanted that class to be involved in groups and such, I'd fork out the 10 bucks to blizzard and pick something more palatable.

I used to care that my main has so many 310% mounts, and other rare ground mounts.. But without account wide achievements its worth nothing. :/
Panda-mon seems to be the latest grab for money, Make sure if you still play your voice is heard if it matters to you, Mine wasn't.
Legion is doing slightly better than wod, seems like everyone likes rng and unlimited ap boys!

Totally agree with this, it sucks not only to invite folks or try to communicate but you can come up with a really cool name and then have it copied by some doucher that simply adds an ascii character.

Want the naming convention to be stricter and have a better community? If someone has a crappy name just report it, takes 30 seconds.

Actually I do this on purpose to keep bots from spamming tells to me. Most games have a shiftclick option and if someone cant figure that out then I probably dont need to party with or join their guild.
